Kristin Weitzel: How to Use Cold Plunging for Ultimate Nervous System Control

What if three minutes in cold water could give you more confidence than years of therapy?
In this episode of Extend, I sit down with Kristin Weitzel—a breathwork expert who has certified over 325 cold plunge instructors—to expose the biggest mistakes people make with cold exposure and why women shouldn't fear the recent controversy.

We break down the "ICE" method (Intentional Cold Exposure), why most people spike their cortisol instead of regulating it, and the simple 2x breathing technique that transforms cold plunging from torture into a nervous system reset.

Kristin reveals her free coaching tools that guide you through your first cold plunge experience and why the anticipation is always worse than the actual cold.
